Should Teenagers Be Drug Tested in School? - S2 E16

<p>Drug testing: Is it legal? Invasive? A viable way to help or intervene?</p> <p>This week's 8th grade hosts, Salil and Shauna, are joined by Luke and Antwoyne. The group discusses teen influences, focusing mostly on drug use, and debating the possibility of drug testing in schools. First, could that ever be a thing, and next, is that the right type of help for students? Is that the intervention young people might need, or is it just an invasion of privacy and personal freedom?</p> <p><strong>RESOURCES<br> </strong><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/index.htm">Youth Risk Behavior Survey</a><br> <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/infographics/youth/pdfs/e-cigarettes-usb-flash-508.pdf">CDC - E-Cigarettes</a><br> <a href="https://www.tobaccofreekids.org/what-we-do/industry-watch/e-cigarettes">Tobacco Free Kids</a><br> <a href="https://med.stanford.edu/tobaccopreventiontoolkit.html">Stanford Tobacco Toolkit</a><br> <a href="https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/underage-drinking-0">NIH - Underage Drinking</a><br> <a href="https://www.illinoispolicy.org/what-you-need-to-know-about-marijuana-legalization-in-illinois/">Illinois Policy - Marijuana Legalization</a></p> <p>Tune in next week as our other two hosts, Lauren and Rhys, take the lead with a new topic and a new set of guests.
